Blissfully Floating

Around in my concentric bubble

Padded with narcissism and ego

Occasionally opening a curtain

To glimpse the outside world

Which ultimately looks safer

Then the locked cell I occupy

How does that saying go

Better the devil you know

Than the devil you don’t know

Still, like the definition of insanity

I am expecting different results

If I can just tweak my perceptions

Enough to better understand people

Why they believe what they believe

While behaving so discordantly

Against what they convey in dialog

Memes and regurgitated rhetoric

Perhaps they too are doing what

I am doing in my concentric bubble

Blissfully floating around in theirs
